Welcome
Welcome to another year on the Hill. We are now well into the rhythm of a new year and it is time for another issue of Bits and Bytes. For those new to Greenhill, Bits and Bytes is an electronic journal that I publish out of the Educational Technology office. The purpose of this bi-monthly publication is to help Greenhill educators implement technology in their teaching in meaningful and effective ways. Each issue will highlight the work of teachers at the school as well as provide information on educational theory that serves as the underpinnings of effective use of technology with today’s learners. You will also find a collection of resources and professional development opportunities in each issue. So, sit back and enjoy the latest issue of Bits and Bytes.

In Theory
|
Information literacy is one of the major issues facing education today. From the earliest years through college, educators are struggling with how to teach their students to critically evaluate the volumes of information available to them today. Here you will find one instrument which you can immediately use with your students and help focus their attention on critical aspects of evaluating resources. |
